Here's lyric for September,
Best Of all months to remember
Month when summer breeZ-s tell
What has happened wood and dell,
Oi the JOY the year has brought
And the changes she has wrought,
She has turned The verdure red
In the blue sky overhead
She the harvest moon has hung
Like a silver beat among
Shoals of stars, bright jewels set
In the earth's blue coronet.
She has brought the orchards ; trsit
To repay the robins flute
Which has glsdden,d d talf the year
With n music liquid clear;
And she makes the meadow grass
Catch the suni cams as they pass,
Till the autumn's door is rolled
With a fragrant cloth o: gold.

Rawhide Buttes evidently contemplate the
marketing of the product of the already
famous quarries early next spring. At all
events the work of development is to be

miners who have been searching about the
city for employment since the weather
precluded the possibility OF operating in
Silver Crown, have been engaged to work
at the Rawhide marble quarries.

Il don't know that it occurred to me in

You had better consider before you
make remarks of that kind"
Gross examination again ensued as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Baird: "Mr. Pasche, you said it
was coming to the time when honest peo-
pie would have to take the matter in
their " hands and hang these fellows?"
ut seems to me So"
Notwithstanding your explanation you
did make the remark hat the courts and
juries ought to be hung ten years ago."
Il said simply if there had been a court
and a Jury hung ten years ago there
would be some Justice; L believe / have
heard other people make the same re-
mark"
The verdict was no surprise. as it was
quite evident that the jury attached no
weight to the testimony for the territory.
The next action was the case titled Ter
ritory of Wyoming VS.. Wilkes and Cavan-
augh, wherein the defendants are charged
with the theft of a horse from Silas Doty,
of this county. Anyone listening to the
trial last evening would have been at a
loss to determine whether the prisoners
or detective witnesses were the defend
ants.
Elan was on the stand for nearly three
hours and was questioned closely regard
ing conversations held with Doc Howard,
Robt. Walker, Foster and the accused in
the Horse Shoe country, while the
nature of his instructions from the associ-
alton were made the subject of much
questioning aud lengthy arguments. He
described the horse in the possession Of
Wilkes and Cavanaugh alleged to belong
to Doty.
Pasche was the next witness. He was
also questioned in relation to operations in
the Horse Shoe country. Among OF her
things he stated that he had not been in
